Posterior conjunctival plication to correct secondary ptosis after eyelid retraction repair in Graves disease.
American Journal of Otolaryngology 2013 September
PURPOSE: To describe the results of posterior conjunctival plication for the treatment of secondary eyelid ptosis after eyelid retraction repair in Graves disease.
METHODS: Case series. All patients were evaluated preoperatively by routine eye examination and eyelid measurements including Margin Reflex Distance 1 and levator function. Two eyes of 2 patients who presented with ptosis following eyelid retraction repair were corrected with posterior conjunctival plication.
RESULTS: Posterior conjunctival plication for secondary ptosis following eyelid retraction repair was successful in 2 eyelids of 2 patients with Graves disease. Follow up period ranged from 6-10 months over which no sign of recurrent ptosis was observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Posterior conjunctival plication is an effective surgical technique for the correction of secondary ptosis following eyelid retraction repair in patients with Graves disease.
